Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Step 3: While the potatoes are baking, prepare the shrimp and steak. If needed, heat them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.
  4. Step 4: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a small border.
  5. Step 5: In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, butter, half of the cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Stir in the shrimp, steak, and half of the green onions.
  7. Step 7: Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins. Top each potato with the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  8. Step 8: Return the loaded potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Step 9: Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.
